A small step for safer sharing

Protect locations

Remove coordinates before a photo becomes public.

Reduce hidden disclosure

Camera and software fields can reveal more about a file than expected.

Keep originals intact

A cleaned copy lets you preserve a richly tagged private master.

Make it repeatable

Run the same privacy check whenever a photo leaves your archive.

Privacy Hygiene

Why visible content is not the whole file

An image can look innocuous while carrying a second layer of information. EXIF records often include the time and place of capture, the camera used, and the software that later edited the file.

Social networks commonly strip some metadata, but relying on an intermediary is a weak privacy workflow. Different platforms keep different fields, and direct sharing, email, and downloads may preserve everything.

The safest habit is to make a clean delivery copy yourself. Archive the original privately, remove metadata from the outgoing version, and then inspect the result when the context is sensitive.

Notes from people who use this often

“Every public image gets a metadata pass before it reaches a CMS.”

Hannah Cole - Investigative editor

“Listing photos no longer expose coordinates from the phone that captured them.”

Ravi Menon - Property manager

“I keep tagged originals but share stripped copies with family groups.”

Elsa Novak - Parent
